Matt Chrisinske

Land Manager

Matt joined BioTech in March of 2020 as a Land Manager. A graduate of Ferris State University, he has spent the last 10 years managing hotels and restaurants, before leaving to spend more time with his wife Katelyn and daughter Emmerson. Matt, along with his cousin, took over his family farm in 2012 due to the unexpected passing of his father. His family has been having biosolids applied on their farm for over 30 years. This uniquely qualifies him to speak to the benefits of biosolids and how the program can easily be integrated into most farm operations. Today the 1600-acre farm applies five to six million gallons across three to four hundred acres annually, all while practicing proper crop rotation, reduced fertilizer inputs, conservation practices like buffer strips and cover crops. When he is not working for BioTech, Matt manages the business, fertility and pesticide programs on his farm. He also enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and daughter, be it in the garden, on the lake, or hunting.
